FWW 162 - SPECIALIZED TECHNIQUES The utilization of specialized woodworking techniques enables you to enhance both the design and execution of your product. Wood bending (steam and lamination), curved panels, veneering, turning, carving and inlay work all provide an opportunity to design and create objects that stand apart in the market place.

FWW 164 - MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY This in-depth look at wood, and how and why it behaves in the manner it does, provides the necessary background to understand the principles of joinery.

FWW 165 - WOOD FINISHING A comprehensive study of the methods and materials used to finish wood. This course includes both a technical explanation of, and practical experience in the applications of stains and dyes, fillers, penetrating finishes and top coats.

FWW 175 - FURNITURE DESIGN An examination of basic design theory provides the foundation for successful furniture design. A review of the history of furniture creates an awareness of the design continuum; while practical experience in sketching, drafting, model-making and mock-up prepares your ideas for construction.
